Code 1226
Excessive wheel spin right front. Anyone had any experience with this. Bad wheel sensor?
I clear it and it sometimes comes back within 5 minutes or so, and sometimes doesn't come back for a day or so.

Re: Code 1226 (00TORCHCOUPE)
C1225 through 1228 are set when the Body Control Module detects a rapid variation in the wheel speed. (Wheel speed changes by 10 mph or more in 0.01 seconds.) The change must occur 3 times with no more than 0.2 seconds between occurances.
Possible cause is electrical noise on the wheel speed sensor wiring harness. Electrical noise could result from the wheel speed sensor wires being routed too close to high energy ignition system components, such as spark plug wires.
Has the ignition system been modified, or a change made that might have moved the sensor wires?
Sorry not much help.

Re: Code 1226 (mapman)
The only thing that has been done since this started appearing was all new poly bushings in the control arms and new springs. Not sure how the wires are routed as I don't do the work myself so I don't know if wires would have been moved. Line lock was also put in in the last month or so, but ran a while without ever getting codes so I don't think that would be it.

Re: Code 1226 (00TORCHCOUPE)
I notice you have Goodridge stainless steel brake lines. Stainless steel brake lines have been known to upset the wheel sensors although it doesn’t seem to happen with the Goodridge nearly as often as with other brands. I remember reading a post where the problem was solved by replacing the brake line with a new stainless steel line. I have also heard that the routing of the stainless steel lines makes a difference as to whether or not they cause a code. I believe that, most of the time, the problems manifested themselves soon after installation.
It could be that when the suspension work was done the stainless steel line was routed in a way that makes the sensor throw a code. You might be able to judge this by comparing how the line on the LF is routed compared to the RF.

Re: Code 1226 (00TORCHCOUPE)
I have the Goodridge lines on mine, just did them yesterday... Only put about 40 or so miles on it so far and no codes.... Tried to make sure the lines were not near the ABS harness....
